Bruising
Bruising starts out as a red or black-and-blue skin discoloration. Depending on the depth of the bruise, it may change in color to yellow-green due to chemical decomposition as the body works to remove dead cells and replace tissue.
Scarring
A scar is made up of shiny, shrunken connective tissue that replaces normal skin tissue after it has been destroyed beyond proper repai.
